Short Biography
I grew up in the Chicago area and did my medical training in Chicago at the University of Chicago. I served as a Pediatric Residency Director for 15 years, first at Rush University and then at Loyola University Medical Center. My work included Inpatient, ER, Outpatient, Nursery and a lot of teaching. For the past 11 years I worked in a Northwestern University Pediatric Outpatient Practice. Our family decided to pursue our dream of living in Colorado so we moved to Evergreen, Colorado. I changed my Pediatric focus to Urgent Care. My husband and I have two young adult children and we enjoy skiing, hiking, and camping. My other passion is platform tennis. We are loving the outdoor life that Colorado has to offer.
